JavaScript - Getelementsbytagname
Hello CodingForums.
I have a script to increase the fontsize on my website.. It works perfectly, but currently it's only targetting my <p> tag and I want it to target my h2 and h3 aswell.. How can I do this? Code: var min=8; var max=18; function increaseFontSize() { var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); for(i=0;i<p.length;i++) { if(p[i].style.fontSize) { var s = parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px","")); } else { var s = 12; } if(s!=max) { s += 1; } p[i].style.fontSize = s+"px" } } function decreaseFontSize() { var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); for(i=0;i<p.length;i++) { if(p[i].style.fontSize) { var s = parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px","")); } else { var s = 12; } if(s!=min) { s -= 1; } p[i].style.fontSize = s+"px" } } Similar Tutorialstoday looking through my logs (errors) and one that came up was Code: element.getElementsByTagName is not a function from the source Code: getByAttribute = function(element, strTagName, strAttributeName, strAttributeValue) { var arrElements = (strTagName == "*" && element.all)? element.all : element.getElementsByTagName(strTagName); Can anyone help me out here? thanks Hello, I am just starting out learning JavaScript and I have just reach the DOM section of my course. I have a page with 10 <a> tags on it and I have created the following JavaScript to tell me how many I have. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var myLinks = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); console.log("We have ", myLinks.length ," many links on the page"); </script> However in the console it reports this: We have 0 many links on the page This is not true as there are 10 links, 9 in the navgation section of the website and 1 in the footer. If someone can tell me what I am doing wrong that would be great. Thanks This is a question about a code for a javascript slide show which i think is very important to understand because slide shows are heavily used! This is the html: Quote: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <script language="javascript" script type="text/javascript" src="slideshow.js"></script> <title>Slideshow exercise</title> </head> <body> <h1> Slideshow exercicse</h1> <img class="slide" src="cityscape.jpg" width="400" height="300"> <img class="slide" src="Creative_design_sailing_leaves_under_blue_sky.jpg" width="400" height="300"> <img class="slide" src="Curiousity.jpg" width="400" height="300"> <img class="slide" src="raindrops-blue-garden-seamless-tile.jpg" width="400" height="300"> <p> Clic on image to view next slide</p> <p> Clic on image to view next slide</p> </body> </html> This is the .js file and my questions: Quote: var numslides=0;currentslide=0; var slides= new Array(); function MakeSlideShow(){ //find all images with the class "slide" imgs= document.getElementsByTagName("img");---------> question 1 for (i=0; i<imgs.length ; i++) { if(imgs[i].className != "slide") continue; slides[numslides]=imgs[i];----------------------------------->question2 //hide all but first image if(numslides==0) {imgs[i].style.display="block";} else{imgs[i].style.display="none";} imgs[i].onclick=NextSlide; numslides++;}//end of loop--------------------------->question3 } //end MakeSlideShow() function NextSlide(){ slides[currentslide].style.display="none";------------------>question4 currentslide++ if(currentslide >= numslides) currentslide=0; slides[currentslide].style.display="block";--------------->question5 } window.onload= MakeSlideShow; question1: does "imgs" automatically become an array here? If so, how can i print out its lenght? This is what i tried and it doesn't work-> var lengthimgs= imgs.length document.write(lengthimgs) question2: What is happening here? Is the imgs[i] array transferring its data into the slides[numslides] array? question3: If slides[numslides] and imgs[i] are interchangeable why can't this line be i++ instead of numslides++ question4: What is happenning to the slides array here? Is currentslide becoming a copy of numslides? question5: What does this do? Where does this line sent the code? Why this? Why hasn't "imgs[i].style.display="block";" already done the job for the display? Thanks i have this part of code in JS: Code: var receiveReq = getXmlHttpRequestObject(); function getXmlHttpRequestObject() { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { return new XMLHttpRequest(); } } function getChatText() { if (receiveReq.readyState == 4 || receiveReq.readyState == 0) { receiveReq.open("GET","getChat_xml.php?chat=1&last=7", true); receiveReq.onreadystatechange = handleReceiveChat; receiveReq.send(); } } function handleReceiveChat() { if (receiveReq.readyState == 4) { var chat_div = document.getElementById('div_chat'); var xmldoc = receiveReq.responseXML; var message_nodes = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("message"); } } then in my getChat_xml.php i have: Code: $xml = '<?//xml version="1.0" ?><root>'; $last = 7; $sql = "SELECT message_id, user_name, message, date_format(post_time, '%h:%i') as post_time" . " FROM message WHERE chat_id = " . db_input($_GET['chat']) . " AND message_id = " . $last; $message_query = db_query($sql); while($message_array = db_fetch_array($message_query)) { $xml .= '<message id="' . $message_array['message_id'] . '">'; $xml .= '<user>' . htmlspecialchars($message_array['user_name']) . '</user>'; $xml .= '<text>' . htmlspecialchars($message_array['message']) . '</text>'; $xml .= '<time>' . $message_array['post_time'] . '</time>'; $xml .= '</message>'; } $xml .= '</root>'; echo $xml; i get a "cannot cal a method getElementsByTagName of null" ??? i have no idea whats going on, help please? thanks (just started JS 2 weeks ago) -- this is also my first time posting here, if my post isnt following the proper template let me know and Ill fix it ..
